The Walls Around Us

Being a wolf and trying to grab onto a tree is not the best decision. Also trying not to get caught and knocked down, that adds more to this furry plate. I found a nice tree that had big leaves. I took note that wolves can climb trees, but doesn't have much balance. I found a place to put my razor sharp claws in the tree and started going up. Then my ears picked up a noise from an unusually big bush.

"Hold it, I heard something." I whispered dead quietly, jumping off the tree.

I nodded my head to the bush and then to my friends. They seemed to get the message and everyone expect Ron and Hermione, crept slowly to the bush.

"Show yourself! Wolf or Hunter?" Amelia said coming a little closer.
A red beam shot out the bush and nearly hit the tip of my blue ear.

"Hey watch where you shoot that thing!" I growled getting into a stance.

"Sorry, sorry I panicked! I really didn't mean to. Please I was actually trying to help your kind to safety." said a girl that looked fourteen-ish. She had frizzy dark brown hair, an elegant black robe, chocolate brown eyes, and pale brown skin.

"You may want to fix that if that's a lie." Destiny said walking next to Amelia and growling.

"No please I'm not lying, you can sniff me or something." she said bringing her body out of the bush. Amelia and I volenteered to sniff her.

We came over to the lady with full alert, if she decides to paralyze us too. We nodded our heads as she was actually scared and wanted to help us.

"Now do you believe me? I can fix the curse that was put on your female wolf." she said going to Hermione.

"Don't you come near her! You're one of them, and you could have been the one who shot her down with your wild spells." Ron said as she approached her.

"Do you want her fixed or do you want her to stay like this until the day she dies?" she said. It took Ron a minute until he grumbled an ok.

"Episkey!" She said pointing her wand at Hermione.

Hermione stayed down for thirty seconds and then her head popped up, gasping.

"What happened to me? One second I was running and then-wait was I paralyzed?" she said getting up on all fours.

"Yeah we'll talk when we get to the room." I barked so Bush Lady wouldn't understand.

"Now that we got that over with, my name is Megan Manchester from the Hufflepuff house."

"Oh I've seen you before just now remembering it. You always stayed in the back of class and was quite." Amelia said.

"Yup, keeping a low profile is my thing." Megan said.

"Well you can have no profile if you turn us in." I said turning towards the smell of other wolves.

"I won't tell anyone, promise."

"We have to go before the feast starts." Harry said going behind me.

"I'll go with you guys then, making sure no one else tries to paralyze you."

"Megan, we're fine, we're werewolves and we have pretty good senses." Hermione said.

With that we ran off leaving Megan behind. I mean we had to, we couldn't have a human, a normal magical mortal just roaming about in this Hogwarts place knowing about our little secret. We caught up with the others and jogged right on.

"Alright guys we know the drill! Stay alert, don't get busted, and come to the Room if you are just about to wolf out! Ravenclaws go right, Gryffindor left, and Hufflepuff straight!" a boy's voice growled in the air.

"Ok we will see you when we get to the Room. Remember follow the nose!" Destiny said joining the Ravenclaws. Amelia went with the Hufflepuff and the four of us went with the Gryffindor.

It was a short run but we made it to the big castle. It looked like a princess's home but older and darker. But the place kept on flashing to a castle, to a creepy house telling us to stay out because it's "dangerous." Hogwarts is already giving me a headache.

"So what exactly do you do here?" I asked taking my eyes off the building.

"What do you mean? You've never been to Hogwarts? How old are you?" Hermione said.

"So I am not even a wizard, I am not a full mortal. I'm thirteen though."

"So are we, remember werewolves." she sang.

"I know even without being a werewolf, I'm not even a full human."

"Well at Hogwarts you learn about the arts of wizardry and witchcraft."

"So is that why you and everybody else has those wooden sticks I am guessing called wands?" I said.

"Yeah. So what are gonna do when school starts tomorrow?"

"Probably hangout over to the room."

"But-- oh we are here." she stopped gazing at the edge of the trees.

A lot of other people shifted and joined the rest of the remaining people. We did the same and entered the though the really large doors. When we were inside, I saw a hall that lead to many passage ways and in front of us I glanced at the enormous room that we were heading to. It had many tables and floating candles with people still filling the place.

There was a small group of smaller children, like eleven--year--olds. The four of us joined the rest of the Weaslys and sat down. Having really sensitive hearing can be really painful if you're in a room filled with loud chattering people. I realized all of the werewolves were trying to find a way how to zone out the talking by either doing it themselves, keeping their head down or just plainly covering their ears. I decided to keep my head down, and Harry did so too. Then there was that annoying voice.

"What's the matter Potter? Dementor's giving you nightmares? And same thing for you wild boy?" Malfoy said.

I growled under my breath and kept my head down.

"What was that wild boy? Did I hear growling, are you mad?" he taunted.

"Why don't you just leave them alone Malfoy?" Hermione said.

"Why don't you shut up Mudblood, did I ask you?"

"Hey, how come I wasn't invite to this nickname party?" I said getting up. I showed him that I was a good three inches taller than him and he had looked up.

I was thinking about bringing out Riptide but Harry got up and stood next to me.

"Why don't you just go back to your Slytherin table and scram?" Harry said when he pushed Malfoy hardly. Malfoy stumbles backwards into a group of girls behind him. They screamed as they pushed him off. That's when backup came.

"Crabbe, Goyle, come here, we need to teach some kids a lesson." Malfoy snapped his fingers and two boy appeared in our faces. One boy was plump and short and had a confused face and the other was tall and lean and had some muscles.

"Oh I see these are your two bodyguards that you-" I began but I was interrupted by a poorly made punch.

I dodged the punch from Big boy and grabbed his wrist and brought it down, snapping it. He doubled over and winced in pain as he clutched his useless punching arm. Tiny Big boy went for Harry and was fast when Tiny tried to go for his face. Then three people came from the widest table in the room and took Tiny and Big boy. One of the people stood back and was the oldest of the three. The other two was a man who just wore black and had black sleek hair and a woman who had a tall, swirly hat and green robe.

The oldest man who stood back had a midnight blue bathrobe, white long beard, and half--moon glasses. He pointed his finger to us like Mrs. Dodds, a.k.a. Alecto, when I was in trouble. I shivered at that old thought and Harry and I walked over to Beard Man.

"Oh we have a new student, this is going to be interesting." Beardy said. He put his hand around both of our backs.

We went through a whole bunch of twist and turns in the halls and reached a door that had a big bird that almost looked like Zeus's sign. Then Beardy said," Sherbet lemon," and the door turned into a line of stairs. Beardy led the way up and motioned his hands to follow.

We both climbed up the stairs and found a wooden door with yet another bird but mini version on it. Beardy opened the door and a burst of really weird stuff flowed into my eyes like pictures that were chattering, brass things making noises, and a bright red bird that cocked its head to us.

"I see Fawkes has an interest for you, Harry's friend. Oh where are my manners, I'm Albus, Percival, Wulfric, Brian, Dumbledore and you ar--?"

"Percy Jackson and you have a very long name, um sir." I blurted by accident. "Sorry Mr. Dumbledore, I have ADHD so I tend to do er... things."

"It's ok, I have to deal other students who have ADHD, but the reason why you're here is because of two reasons, one of them is Percy and two because you got in a fight with Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle." he said sitting down on the big brown desk and intertwining his fingers together.

"Well sir they started it. They came over to us when we were just putting our heads down." Harry said stepping a little closer to the desk.

"Mr. Potter I do not care who started it, it's the thing that you decided to purposely hit another student." as he finished the door opened. Speak of the Monsters, Malfoy and his bodyguards, Hat Lady, and Sleek Hair joined the party. While Sleek Hair pushed I'm guessing Goyle and Crabbe through the door, Hat Lady put one hand on Malfoy's shoulder and walked in.

"Ah we were just talking about you a moment ago, not bad things." Dumbledore said.

"Sir, I know what we can do to them. We can take away points from the Gryffindor house and detention. For these two numb skulls, they can serve detention too." Sleek Hair said.

"Professor Snape, we do not need to give out such a thing on the first night. Now I know you are going to fuss about this but it's quite important for them."

"What's so important for Potter and this boy not to go into detention." Snape said.

"Reasons Professor Severus Snape. Now Professor McGonagall will you take Mr. Potter and Mr. Jackson to the hallway near the Slytherin house?" Dumbledore said as he winked to us.

"Yes Professor, what should I do with these three?"

"Oh you can send Draco and Vincent to their houses and Gregory to the hospital wing." Dumbledore said. Professor McGonagall nodded and she told us to follow her.

After a whole new maze of hallways we went through a whole set of moving stairs. I freaked out and almost fell when it started moving. We then came into a colder place that radiated a cool color of green. Professor McGonagall dropped off Malfoy and Crabbe into the door that was made out of stone and they disappeared as they entered.

"This is where Professor Dumbledore said for you to go. Don't get in trouble with them again, not with the trouble we already have now." McGonagall said.

"Yes ma'am." we said in unison. She walked off with Goyle in hand and we stood in the hall clueless of what to do.

"So what are we supposed to do, wait do you smell that?" Harry asked. I took a deep sniff and the smell of blood filled the air. This was a specific kind of blood though, not fully human but wolf.

"Wolf? Wait I remember, D said something about wolves being taken captured and terminated. Maybe this is where they are." I said.

We ran towards the smell taking the usual sniff once in a while. But the smell seemed to vanish as we were close. In my stomach I felt a little tug, telling me there was water nearby.

"Gods, they put water over the smell."

"What do you mean?"

"Water makes scents go away and someone cleaned all of the blood while we were chasing it."

"How did you know there was water near? There isn't any water that I see."

"Felt it, but I can see where it came from." I closed my eyes and concentrated on the water. It seemed to tell me the directions like, go straight, right, and then a left. "Got it, come on."

"You are a very interesting boy Percy." Harry said.

"Oh you're right about something Harry. I'll explain later." I said getting closer to where the water came from. Straight, one last right, jackpot! We stopped at a dead end wall that the made out of marble stone. I was pretty sure it was right here.

"Is this where it is, where the scent came from?" Harry asked. I put my hand over the wall, it felt like it was permeable. My hand went inside of the wall.

"This is not a real wall, we can go through it, well at least I think." I said pressing my leg into the somewhat wall. Harry went next to me and stuck his whole arm into the wall just to make sure.

Harry and I went into the magic wall and took in what was shown our faces. There was golden and red blood all over the place, maybe having the little patches of stone being clean. It was a really big chamber that had cages with either skeleton that look strangely looked like a large dog, or completely still, alive one's. This place was giving me the creeps. So to sum this up, it wasn't a pretty picture.
